Three films are not enough to talk about sex. You should make many more films, because every person has quite individual takes on sexuality and feelings about it, so it never ends.
Sex is about two heterosexual men who suddenly find their feelings about sexuality, gender and identity challenged in different ways. Love is about a woman in her 40s who wants to try just having casual sex instead of a monogamous relationship.
I have been writing some novels as well, where I have always touched upon these themes or on queerness. I wanted to describe queerness in a different way than what I have been reading or watching in films myself⦠I wanted to depict queerness in a way that felt relatable for me, and that is not to focus on the usual conflicts concerning homophobia and coming out of the closet.
The trilogy is already off to a strong start to reach that audience - Sex premiered at Berlinale Panorama, and is now nominated for the Nordic Council Film Prize an award Haugerud won previously in with Beware of Children. It makes very much sense for me to listen to them, and find out if something doesn't feel right in saying a line, or if maybe it should be expressed in different way.
